Abstract
The purpose of this study, carried out in two experiments, was to investigate the antioxidant effect of Prosopis farcta in Experiment 1, and trehalose in Experiment 2 in the freezing extender, on the quality of frozen-thawed goat epididymal spermatozoa. Sperm samples were added to based egg-yolk Tris-extender containing experimental treatments. The first experimental treatments included the following: an extender of the control group without additive and extender containing 50, 100, or 150 µg/mL of Prosopis farcta ethanolic extract (PEE1, PEE2, and PEE3, respectively). Treatments of the second experiment include an extender of the control group without additive, an extender containing 100 mM of trehalose (Tr), an extender containing 100 µg/mL PEE2, and 100 µg/mL PEE2 + 100 mM Tr. The results of the first experiment showed that PEE2 compared with the control group led to a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. Also, PEE1 and PEE2 treatments resulted in a significant increase (p < 0.05) in motility parameters by computer-assisted sperm analysis, and MDA concentrations decreased significantly (p < 0.05) in all treatments compared with the control group. In general, the results of the present experiment showed that Prosopis farcta ethanolic extract at the level of 100 µg/mL was effective in improving the quality of frozen-thawed goat epididymal spermatozoa. Also, a combination of Prosopis farcta ethanolic extract and trehalose can be successful in freezing goat epididymal spermatozoa.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
